Chapter 524

“Why didn’t you discuss it with me?”

James sat on the couch after he entered the house. Thea had a cold expression on her face. She

scolded, “Is this why you were so confident? You claimed that I would definitely be among the top

hundred. Buying my way into it was your solution?”

“Hehe.”

James just chuckled.

Thea was furious, yet James was laughing. She almost tore her hair out.

“Tell me honestly. How much money did you spend?”

“Not much.” James did not know at all. Scarlett took care of it. Looking at Thea’s expression, he knew

that she was really, really angry.

He tried to explain, “Darling, all I wanted was to make you happy and allow you your moment in the

spotlight. How would I know that people would figure it out so easily? They’re too smart nowadays,

hehe…”

“How much money did you spend?”

It was all Thea cared about right now.

Their family was on its last leg now. One could even say that they had no money left. To live required

funds, but James was throwing it all away.

“James, how much money do you actually have? What else are you hiding from me? When we bought

Pacific over, your card had no more credit, yet you could still produce three million dollars. Now, you’re

spending so much money on buying me my rank. You’d better come clean, otherwise I… I’ll divorce

you.”

Thea was really angry. James panicked upon hearing that.

He walked up to her and nudged her gently with his shoulder.

“Come on, calm down. All I wanted was to make you happy. I did spend some money, but you’re

everything to me. Who cares about money if you’re happy?”.

All women liked to hear sweet nothings.

Thea was no exception, She calmed down a little after what James said.

She put on a stony expression and asked, “Where did the money come from?”

“I-I borrowed it.”

James’ eyes looked everywhere and found a stroke of inspiration. “I borrowed it from Xara.”

Thea did not believe him,

Xara was in charge of the food and beverage department of Transgenerational Group. She enjoyed a

generous salary, but Thea did not believe she had the money to lend to James.

Immediately, she called Xara.

“Can I help you with anything, Thea?”

“Xara, did you lend James some money?”

Xara hesitated for a moment.

Lend money to James? James owned Transgenerational. He was rich. Why would he ever need to

borrow money?

“Ah, yes.”

She recovered from her stupor. “James said you guys were going through a rough patch and needed

some money, so I lent him some.”

“How much?”

“Uh…”

Xara was stunned again. What was she supposed to say? “Thea, what’s going on? Did James spend it

on women and wine?” Xara did not know what to say and was afraid she would blow James’ cover, so

she started making stories up.

“Well, no.” Thea sighed.

“He-uh-forget it. Just tell me how much he borrowed from you so I know. I’ll get a job soon and pay you

back.”

“Is three hundred thousand a lot?”

Xara asked cautiously.

“What? Three hundred thousand?”

Thea squeezed James’ thigh with all her might after hearing it.

James gritted his teeth.

“Xara, I’ll pay you back as soon as possible.”
